As soon as we've had a real taste of being true to ourselves and others, it hurts being anything but...

I believe one of the biggest lessons for us humans, is to accept differences. In the core we're all the same, but the blueprint varies. The way our energy is brought forth is very very different. If we come from love and openness we may be one of the fortunate ones, however. To have the wisdom to keep our integrity intact, sharing from that place, as well as enhance empathy and find the importance of a listening ear, is a privilege. It's the height to which we can reach while being a soul in physical form. Cooperation, team work and an honoring of everyone's strength, including our own, will create a network of support and expression. Already happening, but also not. It's our own responsibility to find this within ourselves, to be able lift humanity to a more loving place.

I'm in!

          An honest exploration of a part of this journey, called life. 

As a sense of being powerless hits my conscious mind, I may despair, but only for a moment. Not wanting to please the ego, I surrender. Fall into the vastness. Allow its intensity. Old inner games, feeding memories of being abandoned - not cared for or listen to - are yet again playing with my mind. Of course (I may say) there is no point dwelling on the old, but neither is it to deny that such emotions appears. If they do, they are ready to free me from its devastating grip. Only Acceptance heals. Resistance keeps it in place. Open like the skies, I may reach a point where the fragile ego can be fully embraced, uplifted by my soothing soul. Powerlessness becomes power, once again, without the need to prove itself in any shape or form. Inner peace expands from such a state. Self love speaking louder than words, to the point of flowing over. And the potential for me to share the riches of who I truly am, with the world, becomes beautifully potent.
While the fire purrs. While the silence of the night lulls me to sleep.
Life is good.

Love to you all!

Our bodies are amazing - a micro system of delicate yet powerful connections, a web of energy between every component and every single cell. A mini universe, really. And each time we knock ourselves out of balance, our inner machinery is there to heal and restore, eager to create more vitality and joy. All we need to do is refill with the good stuff, eat healthy non-toxic food (as much as we are able to) and add natural vitamins and minerals if we are lacking in this area (there are ways to test that). To also release emotional blocks, often stored from long ago, gives us the potential to clear our cells of the impact suppressed emotion have on our overall well-being. To also find ways to empty our mind and be present, is essential. Connect to our breath and bodies. The latter can of course be done by meditating, but for others a walk on the beach, yoga, a run in nature, a bike-ride, a hike etc etc, is what brings them to the here-and-now.  

Makes sense, doesn't it? And still, we stress. Many avoid their emotions, rushing in order to distract themselves. A lot of the world is set up with cheap fast food and excess of alcohol is a too common practice, as well as drug intake. From the mainstream medical arena, to take prescribed drugs to heal symptoms (rather than going to the core of an issue) is the norm. To vaccinate has become a threat to those who think otherwise, as well as the right to heal in whatever way we wish. Big companies, with profit interest only, has way too much power. To me it's not a conspiracy theory anymore, but a reality. 

Still, I sense that behind the scene, shifts are happening. Silent events of enormous magnitude that cannot be stopped. Such positive awakenings forces people to ask the right questions and choose new ways. Because they want to. Because they feel it is right. Therefore I believe in the future. Therefore I feel that much will change, despite (or perhaps because of) many of the challenging events that are happening in the world right now. True power lies within and when enough humans know what this means, waves of openings will just happen. Already has, but more will come. Many more.

So I believe.

To truly live from the heart takes a great deal of awareness. To understand that the head ought to be of service to the heart, not the other way around, can be a difficult concept to grasp. Our thinking mind is great, but has been given way too much importance in modern society. To find balance we need to go inside, feel our own heart and its tremendous power. And the secret is that the nature of the heart is to first and foremost receive, not give. The giving comes as a result of receiving. Something we as humans often get wrong. To give can become a way to be a good. A concept. An idea. Wonderful, yes, but not necessarily unconditional. Because it's when we fully receive from life, with deep gratitude and grace (not from ego) that we can fill ourselves to such a degree that the heart simply swells over. Giving will just happens from such a state. No agenda. No need. It's inevitable. I've met people who give and give, but refuse to receive. It can, if we're not careful, be a way to boost the self or clear a conscience. To fill our own heart - with the gifts available to us - may be essential, naturally creating a ripple effect of giving all around.
 

Each time we are challenged in life and are able to by-pass unhealthy judgement, we can own our own reaction, feel the emotions and let go. And if we persist, a wonderful pattern of constantly freeing ourselves, can begin. Quite simple in terms of the process, but difficult due to the culture many of us have been brought up in. With the western world being fast, attached to achievement and intellectual status, we often get stuck in projecting; an act separating our true self by seeking approval and/or power via the outside world. To honor the individual at the cost of a sense of community, may happen as a result. Even so, softened by the need to come together, things are changing. We can see it in social media and the overall consciousness. Humanity is waking up. And to maintain our focus on that which evolves positively as a whole, can bring forth what really is important. Values no money can buy can then be pushed to the forefront; family, community, creativity and so forth. Because as we focus less on money and profit, our inner passion has a chance to flourish. More emphasis can be on health and the environment, not to mention a different kind of success, the kind serving others as well as ourselves.

And so we shall have a life of love.
